TN to get 1,000 MW more solar power soon

The Hindu  

Tamil Nadu’s ambitious plan to tap solar energy to narrow the power deficit in will get a boost with the government set to finalise deals assuring 1,000 MW solar energy by the end of this month. Addressing an international conference and Exposition on Renewable Energy 2015, organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry here on Thursday, Electricity Minister Natham R. Viswanthan said that already deals for 1,000 MW were on. Agreements for another 1,000 MW would be signed by July-end and by the end of this year the government expects to get 2,000 MW of solar power, he said. It makes a lot of economic sense.” The CII gave seven suggestions to the industry to unleash the full potential of the sector like stricter enforcement ofRenewable energy Purchase Obligations across all States, either through amendment of Electricity Act or Indian Penal Code with penalty for non-compliance.
